Plenty of consensus here ! I love Scottish guns - I`m still looking for the Alex Martin Celtic engraved 12 bore that I`ve been promising myself......I might even have found it ( but don`t like the price ! )
`Best` boxlock shotguns are now more appreciated, with a consequent surge in value. `Best` boxlock rifles have been valued for several years. Of the two most superbly engraved
boxlocks I`ve ever seen, one was Scottish built ( by Charles Ingram of Glasgow ) and the other built by W.R.Pape of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Look at that Daniel Fraser - it`s a beautiful rifle built on what is probably the finest boxlock action ever produced. If it carried a major London name ( Boss, Purdey or Holland & Holland ) it would be at least twice the money.......but wouldn`t be built any better.
`Buy the gun, not the name`.
Wapitiman. How is `Daniel` spelt on the gun ? Is it the full `Daniel` or the abbreviated form `DAN small `L` as it appears on the trade label ?
